Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups Whole Wheat Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup Natural Peanut Butter (unsweetened, no sugar added)
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 cup Apple Sauce (or mashed bananas as an alternative)
  • 1/2 cup Water

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature for baking the cake.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and baking powder to create the base of your cake batter.
  3. Add Peanut Butter: Stir the natural peanut butter into the dry ingredients, blending them to form a crumbly texture.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the egg and apple sauce (or mashed banana) to the bowl. Gradually mix in the water, continuing to stir until you achieve a smooth, consistent batter.
  5. Prepare the Pan: Lightly grease an 8-inch round cake pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking and pour the batter evenly into the pan.
  6. Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
  7. Cool: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it onto a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring it’s safe and ready to serve your dog.

Notes

  • Use natural peanut butter without xylitol or added sugar, as xylitol is toxic to dogs.
  • Whole wheat flour is preferred for dogs, but if your pet has allergies, consult your vet for alternatives.
  • You can substitute apple sauce with mashed ripe bananas for sweetness and moisture.
  • Always allow the cake to cool fully before serving to avoid burns.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days.
